No family tree in mod

**uanime5** · 04-03-2007, 18:29

I was making a mod using the mesoamerican culture but the family tree only displays my faction leader and no one else (not even the faction heir). In the system log it says that the other family member 'need to be defined as a relative'. Also the Faction Leader's anf Faction Heir's names are not displayed.

How do I set up the family tree?

You set it up in descr_strat, look at the other factions and find the relatives section.

If you mean the data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt I've already edited that and the relatives don't show up (this is how I was able to set the Faction Heir and Faction Leader).

descr_strat code (I've deleted all but the General's units):

Code:

character	Amaron, named character, male, leader, age 40, x 152, y 166
traits Factionleader 1 , GoodCommander 2 , BattleDread 4 , ReligionStarter 2 
army
unit		Battlemage				exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

character	Diexony, named character, male, age 32, x 167, y 183
traits Factionheir 1 , LoyaltyStarter 3 , GoodCommander 2 , Intelligent 1 , Energetic 1 , GoodAmbusher 1 , ReligionStarter 1 
army
unit		Battlemage				exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

character	Oxynta Erlach, assassin, male, age 20, x 150, y 166
traits GoodSpy 1 

character	Rhaskos Scherer, priest, male, age 45, x 151, y 178
traits NaturalPriestSkill 1 , StrongFaith 3 , 

character_record		Cerzula, 	female, age 49, alive, never_a_leader
character_record		Grim, 	male, age 12, alive, never_a_leader

relative 	Amaron, 	Cerzula,		Diexony, Grim, end

The error message I get:

Code:

20:35:55.484 [script.err] [error] Script Error in myth/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.txt, at line 378, column 14 couldn't find Amaron's character_record

You have to alter this stuff:

Code:

relative 	Amaron, 	Cerzula,		Diexony, Grim, end

**uanime5** · 04-05-2007, 18:38

To what, it already contains the names of everyone in this faction's family. Also I created this line based on an existing faction.

Oh just noticed something: Are the names legit? You have to add them to descr_names and text/names

Does anyone know what the standard format for this section of text is;

Code:

relative 	Amaron, 	Cerzula,		Diexony, Grim, end

I've managed to add characters to existing family trees already, but it's been very trial and error and i still havn't got a real handle on the layout beyond the parent having to come before the kids.

Husband, Wife, childs sorted by age - iirc

Thanks, I did try sorting them by age but it didn't want to have at one point and threw up errors so i figured it was something like by age with extra conditions on top.

Anyway, thanks for the quick answer.
